Full recovery after laparoscopic surgery
I had laparoscopic surgery to remove some endometriosis and i am on my fifth week now. The first two weeks were kind of rough, the third week pain at the incision sites was getting better, and by the fourth week i was walking 20-25 minutes each day. I was comfortable going up and down the stairs, and i did minor things around the house like washing dishes and doing my laundry and stuff. i felt i was getting better and then by the end of the fourth week my incision pain got worse all of a sudden. the pain was so bad i had to go to the ER. the doc did a CT and said my organs looked fine and i had no sign of infection. However, he suggested i get checked by the GYN who did my surgery. The pain around the incision site got better after i rested in bed for three straight days. How long does it take to fully recover from your experience? they tell u 2-3 weeks and i thought i would spring back to normal in that time but i am still home. thanks for all your advices
When do u get the pain? Randomly after u eat certain things?? Where is the pain exactly, lower or upper part?
Hi,
I've been experiencing abdominal pains for a few months now. The docs thought it was either a digestive issue or endometriosis. After many tests, my digestive system was fine. I then went for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on Friday and was told everything was fine. I still need to go for my consultation in 3 weeks time, but has anyone else been through this, just to be told there is nothing wrong? And if so, what could be the cause of the problem?

I was supposed to have my missing IUD removed from somewhere it wasn't suppose to be (since it went through my uterus). I had a laparoscopy done on the 11th but to my surprise the doctor couldn't find the IUD, instead he removed a golf-size cyst and diagnosed I have endometriosis. I'm feeling pretty good except for the gas that makes my shoulders and chest hurt real bad at times

hi ladies, hope u all feel better. i am also gona have the laproscopy surgery done and I am very scared of the pain.
I just had the surgery on the 21st I am 35 and I was very scared. But its been a week today and I feel great. I want to go to the gym so bad but I am trying to wait one more week just to be safe. I ate solid foods the next day after the surgery. The worse part of the surgery for me was the gas. It still is in my right sholder. I could not sleep on my side at all just my back. Everytime I got up or down from setting the gas pockets would move around and it is very painful. I had endemetreosis removed. I still can't bend over and touch my toes but I walk around and do cleaning all day long with no problems.
I am now on day 3 after my surgery. I am a single mom of a 3 month old. Omg it is hell. I have little to no help at all. Her dad helps a little when he is not working but he works 7am to 8pm 6 days a week. Getting up and down with her is murder. I can keep popping pain pills cuz I gotta take care of her. I can't even drive or carry her with her car seat. Hell I drove myself from the hospital after having her. I don't know what I am gonna do. I am afraid of breaking stitches. I had a laparoscopy ovarian cystectomy. 3 incisions to remove a 15cm cyst.

I took 3 - 4 weeks off work, then spent the rest of recovery time to just doings at my own pace. I was very dizzy and very naeucious for a long time after my surgery which made things really difficult. But everything got better after around 6 weeks. I didnt drive for about a month either.
It sounds like you are doing great. It takes time and you have to be annoyingly anf frustratingly patient! By listening to your body but not getting too anxious about over analysing everything! Very difficult. I ended up seeing a natropath and GP for weeks after because i just felt so awful for so long i was convinced there had to be a hundred other things wrong with me! But it all just healed itself eventually.
Sounds like you are in more pain than i was, which i hear is very common. I would speak to a good GP about it or even seek a natropath. They can speak to you about how diet can affect your body and hopefully give you some help on a different level.
Take your time, sounds like you are doing everything you should and it will get better x
